🔼 Clutch Late. It took extra innings on Wednesday to decide a winner between Maryland baseball and James Madison, with Hollis Porter driving in the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th that helped lead the Terps to a 6-4 win over the Dukes in Harrisonburg, Va.

Cristofer Cespedes earned his first career win on the mound. The freshman pitched the final 1.2 innings and shut out the Dukes while not allowing a single hit. He also struck out the final two batters to end the game.

🤔 TERRAPIN TRIVIA

🐢 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Forever A Terp. A Southern California native, Jenny Belak, took her first steps on a softball field in fourth grade. Little did she know the sport would eventually propel her to one of the top collegiate programs in the country and set the stage for a successful career in business. 

Belak had played travel ball and was recruited by several schools before stepping onto the University of Maryland’s campus. However, when a recruiter approached her from Maryland during a tournament in Colorado and later received a phone call from them, her dad encouraged her to pursue the school because of its prestigious academic programs and athletic successes.
